Man asks FIFA about eligibility dispute
Legit.ng had earlier published a report announcing that FIFA was set to settle the 2026 World Cup eligibility dispute between Nigeria and DR Congo in a decision expected on the specific date.
On the said date, however, no decision was made despite the anticipation of many individuals who believed the fate of either Nigeria or DR Congo would be determined.
DR Congo was accused by Nigeria of using ineligible players during the 2026 World Cup playoffs. Nigeria subsequently filed a petition to seek an official ruling on the matter.
While FIFA is yet to reach a decision, a man identified as @Vibes_with_Rey took to the comments page to ask FIFA a serious question.

Speaking about the verdict that is yet to be announced, he asked FIFA when it would make a decision regarding the case.
His statement read:
"When are you going to give your verdict on the DR Congo/Nigeria case?"
